  Bernard Ingham 20 Oct 2005  
On why he included only five women in his new book, Yorkshire Greats

Sir Bernard Ingham became famous as Margaret Thatcher's press secretary. Since then he's made a career as a writer, broadcaster and Yorkshireman. In honour of the latter he's gathered together a collection of Yorkshire Greats. There are fifty in all, but only five of them are women - no Charlotte Brontë, no Barbara Hepworth and no Judi Dench.

Jenni, a Barnsley lass herself, takes him to task and asks him why.
